The Tragedy of King Lear (April 5-7, 2013)

The Tragedy of King Lear by William Shakespeare was brought to the Gibson Center for the Arts’ Decker Theater under the direction of Professor Jason Rubin, and the dramaturgy of senior Maegan Clearwood as part of her senior capstone experience. This dramatic tale featured powerful acting (including Professor Timothy Maloney in the title role), extreme fight scenes, and gruesome displays of bloodlust. The production, a collaboration among the departments of Drama and English, featured students from eleven majors who served important roles both on and off-stage.
